Don't know if this might help anyone but follow along on my numbers. I have a 2014 F350 DRW diesel and a 2013 3402RL. The trailer has a GVWR of 15800lbs. (for reference only). The truck has a GVWR of 14000lbs (again for reference only), with posted front axle load weight max of 5600lbs and rear axle load weight max of 9650. Ford lists the GCWR tow rating for a 5th wheel for this truck as 22200lbs, to a combined truck and trailer total of 30500lbs. Those are detail facts only.
I had the truck and trailer combination weighed in 8/15 on one of our usual trips with the following weight results: Front axle: 5160lbs, Rear axle: 6480lbs, Trailer axles 12040lbs. This was with full passenger load and all luggage and trip essentials either in the truck or in the trailer. Based on those real world weights, my rig is WELL under the trucks ability to handle the tow and load weights. For all those concerned, take your rig to a truck scale station and get your numbers to be sure of where you stand.
